i dont think you could go wrong with either color, they are both easy colors to keep clean and maintain it. i own a pewter Z but i like silver also.

i love my pewter, it hides dirt beautifully and it looks amazing day and night. Silver seems very dull untill you get real close to it. This is my car, to help you decide hehe

Pewter bro... Iceman, it looks like there's a ding above your rear wheel about 3 inches up in the center of the well

I can spot it like a sore thumb because i had one there on mine, I did the paintless dent repair on my car... they do a great job, they put it under florescent lighting which shows dings and dents, I got my whole car done for 125 bucks, and its' flawless.

I've been told that Silver fades quicker than any other color, along with red.

But what do I know, don't my family doesn't own a body shop, not?!.

Too much work to change the color and do it properly. What's wrong with black? I was hoping to find a black one and ended up with red! I'm sure silver will look fine if you don't mind all the work or spending a big wad of cash.
